Substituted oxazolidinones for combinational therapy

ABSTRACT

The invention relates to combinations of A) oxazolidinones of formula (I) and B) other active ingredients, to a method for producing said combinations and to the use thereof as medicaments, in particular for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of thrombo-embolic diseases.

[0001] The present invention relates to combinations of A) oxazolidinones of the formula (I) with B) other active ingredients, to a process for producing these combinations and to the use thereof as medicaments, in particular for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of thromboembolic disorders.

[0002] Oxazolidinones of the formula (I) act in particular as selective inhibitors of coagulation factor Xa and as anticoagulants.

[0003] It has been possible to demonstrate an antithrombotic effect of factor Xa inhibitors in numerous animal models (cf. WO 99/37304; WO 99/06371; J. Hauptmann, J. Stürzebecher, Thrombosis Research 1999, 93, 203; F. Al-Obeidi, J. A. Ostrem, Factor Xa inhibitors, Exp. Opin. Ther. Patents 1999, 9, 931; B.-Y. Zhu, R. M. Scarborough, Curr. Opin. Card. Pulm. Ren. Inv. Drugs 1999, 1 (1), 63, M. Samama, J. M. Walenga, B. Kaiser, J. Fareed, Specific Factor Xa Inhibitors, Cardiovascular Thrombosis: Thrombocardiology and Thromboneurology, Second Edition, edited by M. Verstraete, V. Fuster, E. J. Topol, Lippincott-Raven Publishers, Philadelphia 1998) and clinical studies on patients (The Ephesus Study, blood, Vol 96, 490a, 2000; The Penthifra Study, blood, Vol 96, 490a, 2000; The Pentamaks Study, blood, Vol 96, 490a-491a, 2000; The Pentathlon 2000 Study, blood, Vol 96, 491a, 2000). Factor Xa inhibitors can therefore be employed preferably in medicaments for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of thromboembolic disorders.

[0004] Thromboembolic vascular disorders are the commonest cause of morbidity and mortality in industrialized countries (Thiemes Innere Medizin, Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart, New York; American Heart Association, 2000 heart and stroke statistical update, Dallas, Tex.: American Heart Association, 2000). Anticoagulant therapy has proved effective in the treatment of vascular disorders in order to prevent thrombotic vascular occlusions and to reopen thrombotically occluded vessels, and has great importance in the prophylaxis and treatment of coronary, peripheral and cerebral vascular disorders, and in the prophylaxis and/or treatment of venous thromboses and pulmonary embolisms.

[0005] Thromboembolic complications may be caused by atherosclerotic lesions of the vessel wall, especially disturbance of endothelial function, which may lead to acute thrombotic occlusions. Atherosclerosis is a multifactorial disorder which depends on a large number of cardiovascular risk factors. Clinical studies have shown that prophylaxis with anticoagulants does not definitively influence the course of the arterial vascular disorder. Targeted treatment of the risk factors in conjunction with an antithrombotic therapy is therefore advantageous.

[0006] Risk factors for coronary, peripheral and cerebral vascular disorders are, for example: elevated serum cholesterol levels, arterial hypertension, cigarette smoking, diabetes mellitus (Allgemeine und spetargetle Pharmacologie und Toxikologie, W. Forth, D. Henschler, W. Rummel, K. Starke; Spektrum Akademischer Verlag Heidelberg Berlin Oxford; Thiemes Innere Medizin, Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart, New York). The principles of preventive medicine are based on elimination of these risk factors. Besides a change in lifestyle, also included are pharmacological measures such as, for example, antihypertensive therapy, lipid-lowering medicaments or thrombosis prophylaxis. In addition, combination with coronary therapeutic agents is suitable for the treatment where there is pre-existent coronary heart disease.

[0007] It has now been found, surprisingly, that combinations of oxazolidinones of the formula (I) with certain other active ingredients have interesting properties and are more suitable for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of various diseases than the individual active ingredients alone.

[0008] The invention therefore relates to combinations of

[0009] A) oxazolidinones of the formula (I) with

[0010] B) other active ingredients, in particular with platelet aggregation inhibitors, anticoagulants, fibrinolytics, lipid-lowering agents, coronary therapeutic agents and/or vasodilatators.

[0011] “Combinations” mean for the purposes of the invention not only dosage forms which comprise all the components (so-called fixed combinations), and combination packs which comprise the components separate from one another, but also components administered simultaneously or sequentially as long as they are employed for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of the same disease. It is likewise possible to combine two or more active ingredients together, and thus the combinations in this connection are in each case double or multiple.

[0012] Suitable oxazolidinones of the combination of the invention include, for example, compounds of the formula (I)

[0013] in which:

[0014] R¹ is optionally benzo-fused thiophene (thienyl) which may optionally be substituted one or more times;

[0015] R² is any organic radical;

[0138] where

[0139] the group “A” defined above may optionally be substituted once or twice in the meta position relative to the linkage to the oxazolidinone by a radical from the group of fluorine, chlorine, nitro, amino, trifluoromethyl, methyl or cyano,

[0140] R³, R⁴, R⁵, R⁶, R⁷ and R⁸ are hydrogen,

[0141] and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts, hydrates and prodrugs thereof.

[0142] Very particular preference is likewise given in this connection to the compound having the following formula

[0143] and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts, hydrates and prodrugs thereof.

[0144] To date, oxazolidinones have been described essentially only as antibiotics, and in a few cases also as MAO inhibitors and fibrinogen antagonists (Review: Riedl, B., Endermann, R., Exp. Opin. Ther. Patents 1999, 9 (5), 625), and a small 5-[acylaminomethyl] group (preferably 5-[acetylaminomethyl]) appears to be essential for the antibacterial effect.

[0145] Substituted aryl- and heteroarylphenyloxazolidinones in which a monosubstituted or polysubstituted phenyl radical may be bonded to the N atom of the oxazolidinone ring and which may have in position 5 of the oxazolidinone ring an unsubstituted N-methyl-2-thiophenecarboxamide residue, and their use as substances with antibacterial activity are disclosed in the U.S. Pat. No. 5,929,248, U.S. Pat. No. 5,801,246, U.S. Pat. No. 5,756,732, U.S. Pat. No. 5,654,435, U.S. Pat. No. 5,654,428 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,565,571.

[0146] In addition, benzamidine-containing oxazolidinones are known as synthetic intermediates in the synthesis of factor Xa inhibitors or fibrinogen antagonists (WO-A-99/31092, EP-A-623615).

[0147] The compounds of the formula (I) may, depending on the substitution pattern, exist in stereoisomeric forms which either are related as image and mirror image (enantiomers) or are not related as image and mirror image (diastereomers). Both the enantiomers or diastereomers and respective mixtures thereof are included. The racemic forms can, just like the diastereomers, be separated in a known manner into the stereoisomerically pure constituents.

[0148] Certain compounds of the formula (I) may also exist in tautomeric forms. This is known to the skilled worker, and such compounds are likewise included.

[0149] Physiologically acceptable, i.e. pharmaceutically acceptable, salts may be salts of the compounds of the invention with inorganic or organic acids. Preferred salts are those with inorganic acids such as, for example, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid or sulfuric acid, or salts with organic carboxylic or sulfonic acids such as, for example, acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, propionic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, malic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, lactic acid, benzoic acid, or methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, toluenesulfonic acid or naphthalnedisulfonic acid.

[0150] Pharmaceutically acceptable salts which may also be mentioned are salts with conventional bases, such as, for example, alkali metal salts (e.g. sodium or potassium salts), alkaline earth metal salts (e.g. calcium or magnesium salts) or ammonium salts derived from ammonia or organic amines such as, for example, diethylamine, triethylamine, ethyldiisopropylamine, procaine, dibenzylamine, N-methylmorpholine, dihydroabietylamine or methylpiperidine.

[0151] “Hydrates” refers to those forms of the compounds of the above formula (I) which form a molecular compound (solvate) in the solid or liquid state through hydration with water. In the hydrates, the water molecules are attached through secondary valencies by intermolecular forces, in particular hydrogen bonds. Solid hydrates contain water as so-called water of crystallization in stoichiometric ratios, and the water molecules do not have to be equivalent in terms of their binding state. Examples of hydrates are sesquihydrates, monohydrates, dihydrates or trihydrates. Equally suitable are also the hydrates of salts of the compounds of the invention.

[0152] “Prodrugs” refers to those forms of the compounds of the above formula (I) which may themselves be biologically active or inactive but can, be converted into the corresponding biologically active form (for example metabolically, solvolytically or in another way).

[0153] Halogen is fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine. Chlorine or fluorine are preferred.

[0154] (C₁-C₈)-Alkyl is a straight-chain or branched alkyl radical having 1 to 8 carbon atoms. Examples which may be mentioned are: methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl, n-pentyl and n-hexyl. The corresponding alkyl groups with fewer carbon atoms are derived analogously from this definition, such as, for example, (C₁-C₆)-alkyl and (C₁-C₄)-alkyl. It is generally true that (C₁-C₄)-alkyl is preferred.

[0155] The meaning of the corresponding constituent of other more complex substituents is also derived from this definition, such as, for example, in the case of alkylsulfonyl, hydroxyalkyl, hydroxyalkylcarbonyl, alkoxy-alkyl, alkoxycarbonyl-alkyl, alkanoylalkyl, aminoalkyl or alkylaminoalkyl.

[0156] (C₃-C₇)-Cycloalkyl is a cyclic alkyl radical having 3 to 7 carbon atoms. Examples which may be mentioned are: cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl or cycloheptyl. The corresponding cycloalkyl groups with fewer carbon atoms are derived analogously from this definition, such as, for example, (C₃-C₅)-cycloalkyl. Cyclopropyl, cyclopentyl and cyclohexyl are preferred.

[0157] The meaning of the corresponding constituent of other more complex substituents such as, for example, cycloalkanoyl is also derived from this definition.

[0158] (C₂-C₆)-Alkenyl is a straight-chain or branched alkenyl radical having 2 to 6 carbon atoms. A straight-chain or branched alkenyl radical having 2 to 4 carbon atoms is preferred. Examples which may be mentioned are: vinyl, allyl, isopropenyl and n-but-2-en-1-yl.

[0159] (C₁-C₈)-Alkoxy is a straight-chain or branched alkoxy radical having 1 to 8 carbon atoms. Examples which may be mentioned are: methoxy, ethoxy, n-propoxy, isopropoxy, n-butoxy, isobutoxy, tert-butoxy, n-pentoxy, n-hexoxy, n-heptoxy and n-octoxy. The corresponding alkoxy groups with fewer carbon atoms are derived analogously from this definition, such as, for example, (C₁-C₆)-alkoxy and (C₁-C₄)-alkoxy. It is generally true that (C₁-C₄)-alkoxy is preferred.

[0160] The meaning of the corresponding constituent of other more complex constituents such as, for example, alkoxy-alkyl, alkoxycarbonyl-alkyl and alkoxycarbonyl is also derived from this definition.

[0161] Mono- or di-(C₁-C₄)-alkylaminocarbonyl is an amino group which is linked via a carbonyl group and which has a straight-chain or branched or two identical or different straight-chain or branched alkyl substituents each having 1 to 4 carbon atoms.

[0211] The processes can be illustrated by way of example by the following formula diagrams:

[0212] The oxidation step described above, which takes place where appropriate, can be illustrated by way of example by the following formula diagrams:

[0213] Solvents suitable for the processes described above are in these cases organic solvents which are inert under the reaction conditions. These include halohydrocarbons such as dichloromethane, trichloromethane, tetrachloromethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, trichloroethane, tetrachloroethane, 1,2-dichloroethylene or trichloroethylene, ethers such as diethyl ether, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, glycol dimethyl ether or diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol or tert-butanol, hydrocarbons such as benzene, xylene, toluene, hexane or cyclohexane, dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, acetonitrile, pyridine, hexamethylphosphoric triamide or water.

[0214] It is likewise possible to employ solvent mixtures composed of the aforementioned solvents.

[0215] Activating or coupling reagents suitable for the processes described above are in these cases the reagents normally used for these purposes, for example N′-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N-ethylcarbodiimide.HCl, N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, 1-hydroxy-1H-benzotriazole.H₂O and the like.

[0216] Suitable bases are the usual inorganic or organic bases. These preferably include alkali metal hydroxides such as, for example, sodium or potassium hydroxide or alkali metal carbonates such as sodium or potassium carbonate or sodium or potassium methanolate or sodium or potassium ethanolate or potassium tert-butoxide or amides such as sodamide, lithium bis-(trimethylsilyl)amide or lithium diisopropylamide or amines such as triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine, diisopropylamine, 4-N,N-dimethylaminopyridine or pyridine.

[0217] The base can be employed in these cases in an amount of from 1 to 5 mol, preferably from 1 to 2 mol, based on 1 mol of the compounds of the general formula (II).

[0218] The reactions generally take place in a temperature range from −78° C. to the reflux temperature, preferably in the range from 0° C. to the reflux temperature.

[0219] The reactions can be carried out under atmospheric, elevated or reduced pressure (e.g. in the range from 0.5 to 5 bar), generally under atmospheric pressure.

[0220] Suitable selective oxidizing agents both the preparing epoxides and for the oxidation which is optionally carried out to the sulfone, sulfoxide or N-oxide are, for example, m-chloroperbenzoic acid (MCPBA), sodium metaperiodate, N-methylmorpholine N-oxide (NMO), monoperoxyphthalic acid or osmium tetroxide.

[0221] The conditions used for preparing the epoxides are those customary for these preparations.

[0222] For detailed conditions for the process of oxidation, which is carried out where appropriate, to the sulfone, sulfoxide or N-oxide, reference may be made to the following literature: M. R. Barbachyn et al., J. Med. Chem. 1996, 39, 680 and WO-A-97/10223.

[0223] Reference is further made to Examples 14 to 16 detailed in the experimental part.

[0224] The amidination which is carried out where appropriate takes place under the usual conditions. For further details, reference may be made to Examples 31 to 35 and 140 to 147.

[0225] The compounds of the formulae (II), (III), (IV) and (VI) are known per se to the skilled worker or can be prepared by conventional methods. For oxazolidinones, in particular the 5-(aminomethyl)-2-oxooxazolidines required, cf. WO-A-98/01446; WO-A-93/23384; WO-A-97/03072; J. A. Tucker et al., J. Med. Chem. 1998, 41, 3727; S. J. Brickner et al., J. Med. Chem. 1996, 39, 673; W. A. Gregory et al., J. Med. Chem. 1989, 32, 1673.

[0226] A preferred compound A) of the formula (I) for use in combinations is 5-chloro-N-({(5S)-2-oxo-3-[4-(3-oxo-4-morpholinyl)phenyl]-1,3-oxazolidin-5-yl}methyl)-2-thiophenecarboxamide, the compound of Example 44.

[0227] The combinations of the invention are suitable in particular for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of arterial thromboses and embolisms associated with coronary heart disease, impairments of cerebrovascular blood flow and impairments of peripheral arterial blood flow. Combinations of oxazolidinones of the formula (I) with platelet aggregation inhibitors, anticoagulants and/or fibrinolytics are additionally suitable in particular for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of venous thromboses and pulmonary embolisms.

[0228] The individual active ingredients of the combinations are known from the literature and for the most part commercially available. They may, where appropriate, just like the oxazolidinones of the formula (I), be employed in subtherapeutically effective doses.

[0229] Suitable for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of arterial vascular disorders is a combination therapy of oxazolidinones of the formula (I) with lipid-lowering agents, in particular with HMG-CoA (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A) reductase inhibitors such as, for example, cerivastatin (Rivastatin, Baycol; U.S. Pat. No. 5,177,080), lovastatin (Mevacor; U.S. Pat. No. 4,231,938), simvastatin (Zocor; U.S. Pat. No. 4,444,784), pravastatin (Pravachol; U.S. Pat. No. 4,346,227), fluvastatin (Lescol; U.S. Pat. No. 5,354,772), atorvastatin (Lipitor; U.S. Pat. No. 5,273,995), or with coronary therapeutic agents/vasodilators, in particular ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme) inhibitors, such as, for example, captopril, lisinopril, enalapril, ramipril, cilazapril, benazepril, fosinopril, quinapril, perindopril; AII (angiotensin II) receptor antagonists such as, for example, embusartan (U.S. Pat. No. 5,863,930), losartan, valsartan, irbesartan, candesartan, eprosartan, temisartan; β-adrenoceptor antagonists such as, for example, carvedilol, alprenolol, bisoprolol, acebutolol, atenolol, betaxolol, carteolol, metoprolol, nadolol, penbutolol, pindolol, propanolol, timolol; alpha-1-adrenoceptor antagonists such as, for example, prazosin, bunazosin, doxazosin, terazosin; diuretics such as, for example, hydrochlorothiazide, furosemide, bumetanide, piretanide, torasemide, amiloride; dihydralazine; calcium channel blockers such as, for example, verapamil, diltiazem or dihydropyridine derivatives such as, for example, nifedipine (Adalat) or nitrendipine (Bayotensin); substances which bring about an increase in cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), such as, for example, stimulators of soluble guanylate cyclase (WO 98/16223, WO 98/16507, WO 98/23619, WO 00/06567, WO 00/06568, WO 00/06569, WO 00/21954, WO 00/66582, WO 01/17998, WO 01/19776, WO 01/19355, WO 01/19780, WO 01/19778).

[0230] The pharmacotherapeutic aim of treatment of a pre-existing coronary heart disease is to eliminate the inbalance between oxygen supply and oxygen demand in the areas of myocardium affected by the ischemia. Suitable for the treatment of a pre-existing coronary heart disease is therefore in particular combination therapy of an oxazolidinone of the formula (I) with coronary therapeutic agents, in particular with β-adrenoceptor antagonists; ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme) inhibitors; A-II (angiotensin II) receptor antagonists; nitrates such as, for example, isosorbide 5-mononitrate, isosorbide dinitrate, glycerol trinitrate; substances which bring about an increase in cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP); calcium channel blockers. Most of these compounds are also employed for therapy of hypertension.

[0231] Thrombolytic therapy with plasminogen acktivators (thrombolytic/fibrinolytic agents) such as, for example, tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA), streptokinase, reteplase or urokinase has proved effective for reopening thrombotically occluded vessels. However, administration of plasminogen activators on their own does not prevent further growth of the thrombus. High doses of plasminogen activators may additionally mean an increased risk of bleeding. Combined administration of a thrombolytic agent with an oxazolidinone of the formula (I) for opening thrombotically occluded vessels associated with coronary heart disease, transient ischemic attacks, stroke, peripheral arterial occlusive diseases and pulmonary embolisms prevents further growth of the thrombus through inhibition of thrombin formation and thus reduces the risk of reocclusion. In addition, on combination therapy with a thrombolytic agent and an oxazolidinone of the formula (I) it is possible to reduce the dose of thrombolytic agent necessary for therapy, which leads to a reduction in the bleeding complications and thus represents a considerable advantage over monotherapy.

[0232] Oxazolidinones of the formula (I) can also be given in combination with other substances with anticoagulant activity (anticoagulants) for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of arterial, intracardiac and venous thromboembolic disorders. Combination therapy of oxazolidinones of the formula (I) in particular with heparin (UFH), lower molecular weight heparins (LMWH) such as, for example, tinzaparin, certoparin, parnaparin, nadroparin, ardeparin, enoxaparin, reviparin, dalteparin or direct thrombin inhibitors such as, for example, hirudin leads to an enhanced antithrombotic effect.

[0233] Oxazolidinones of the formula (I) can additionally also be given in combination with platelet aggregation-inhibiting substances (platelet aggregation inhibitors) for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of arterial, intracardiac and venous thromboembolic disorders. An endothelial lesion is associated with adhesion to the wall and activation of blood platelets and simultaneous stimulation of coagulation. This leads to the formation of platelet- and fibrin-containing thrombi, and the platelets contribute to stabilizing the fibrin matrix (J. Hirsh, E. W. Salzman, V. J. Marder, R. W. Colman, Overview of the Thrombotic Process and its Therapy, pages 1151-1163 in Hemostasis and Thrombosis: Basic Principles and Clinical Practice, Third Edition, edited by R. W. Colman, J. Hirsh, V. J. Marder, E. W. Salzman. J. B. Lippincott Company, Philadelphia, 1994). Simultaneous inhibition of coagulation and of platelet aggregation therefore leads to an enhanced antithrombotic effect. Particularly suitable for combination therapy are combinations of an oxazolidinone of the formula (I) with platelet aggregation inhibitors such as, for example, aspirin, ticlopidin (Ticlid), clopidogrel (Plavix); fibrinogen receptor antagonists; (glycoprotein IIb/IIIa antagonists) such as, for example, abciximab, eptifibatide, tirofiban, lamifiban, lefradafiban.

[0234] All usual administration forms are suitable for administering the combinations of the invention. Administration preferably takes place orally, lingually, sublingually, buccally, rectally, topically or parenterally (i.e. avoiding the intestinal tract, i.e. intravenous, intraarterial, intracardiac, intracutaneous, subcutaneous, transdermal, intraperitoneal or intramuscular).

[0235] The present invention includes pharmaceutical preparations which, besides non-toxic, inert pharmaceutically suitable excipients and/or carriers, comprise one or more combinations of the invention or which consist of a combination of the invention, and processes for producing these preparations.

[0236] The combinations of the invention are intended to be present in the abovementioned pharmaceutical preparations in a concentration of about 0.1 to 99.5, preferably about 0.5 to 95, % by weight of the complete mixture.

[0237] The abovementioned pharmaceutical preparations may, besides the combinations of the invention, also comprise further active pharmaceutical ingredients.

[0238] The abovementioned pharmaceutical preparations can be produced in a conventional way by known methods, e.g. by mixing the active ingredient or active ingredients with the carrier(s).

[0239] It has generally proved advantageous to administer the combinations of the invention in total amounts of about 0.001 to 100 mg/kg, preferably about 0.01 to 100 mg/kg, in particular about 0.1 to 10 mg/kg, of body weight every 24 hours, where appropriate in the form of a plurality of single doses, to achieve the desired results.

[0240] It may nevertheless be necessary where appropriate to depart from the aforementioned amounts, in particular depending on the body weight, on the nature of the administration route, the type and severity of the disorder, on the individual behavior toward the medicament, on the nature of the formulation and on the time or interval over which administration takes place. Thus, it may be sufficient in some cases to make do with less than the aforementioned minimum amount, whereas in other cases the upper limit mentioned must be exceeded. It may be advisable, for example when relatively large amounts are administered, to distribute these over the day, in particular either in a plurality of single doses or as continuous infusion.

[0241] The invention therefore further relates to the combinations defined above for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of disorders.

[0242] The invention further relates to medicaments comprising at least one of the combinations defined above and, where appropriate, further active pharmaceutical ingredients.

[0243] The invention further relates to the use of the combinations defined above for producing medicaments for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of the disorders described above, preferably thromboembolic disorders, in particular myocardial infarction, angina pectoris (including unstable angina), sudden heart death, reocclusions and restenoses after an angioplasty or aortocoronary bypass, stroke, transient ischemic attacks, peripheral arterial occlusive diseases, pulmonary embolisms or deep venous thromboses.

[0244] The percentage data in the following examples are based in each case on weight; parts are parts by weight.

EXAMPLES A Assessment of the Physiological Activity

[0245] 1. Physiological Activity of Compounds of the Formula (I)

[0246] The compounds of the formula (I) act in particular as selective inhibitors of coagulation factor Xa and do not inhibit, or also inhibit only at distinctly higher concentrations, other serine proteases such as thrombin, plasmin or trypsin.

[0247] Inhibitors of coagulation factor Xa are referred to as “selective” when their IC₅₀ values for factor Xa inhibition are 100-fold, preferably 500-fold, in particular 1000-fold, smaller than the IC₅₀ values for the inhibition of other serine proteases, in particular thrombin, plasmin and trypsin, reference being made concerning the test methods for the selectivity to the test methods of Examples A-1) a.1) and a.2) described below.

[0248] The particularly advantageous biological properties of the compounds of the formula (I) can be ascertained by the following methods.

[0249] a) Test Description (in vitro)

[0250] a.1) Measurement of Factor Xa Inhibition

[0251] The enzymatic activity of human factor Xa (FXa) was measured via the conversion of an FXa-specific chromogenic substrate. In this case, factor Xa eliminates p-nitroaniline from the chromogenic substrate. The determinations were carried out in microtiter plates as follows.

[0252] The test substances were dissolved in various concentrations in DMSO and incubated with human FXa (0.5 nmol/l dissolved in 50 mmol/l tris buffer [C,C,C-tris(hydroxymethyl)-aminomethane], 150 mmol/l NaCl, 0.1% BSA (bovine serum albumine), pH=8,3) at 25° C. for 10 minutes. Pure DMSO serves as control. The chromogenic substrate (150 μmol/l Pefachrome® FXa from Pentapharm) was then added. After incubation at 25° C. for 20 minutes, the extinction at 405 nm was determined. The extinctions of the test mixtures with test substance were compared with the control mixtures without test substance, and the IC₅₀ values were calculated therefrom.

[0253] a.2) Selectivity Determination

[0254] Selective FXa inhibition was demonstrated by investigating the inhibition by the test substances of other human serine proteases such as thrombin, trypsin, plasmin. The enzymatic activity of thrombin (75 mU/ml), trypsin (500 mU/ml) and plasmin (3.2 nmol/l) was determined by dissolving these enzymes in tris buffer (100 mmol/l, 20 mmol/l CaCl₂, pH=8.0) and incubating with test substance or solvent for 10 minutes. The enzymatic reaction was then started by adding the appropriate specific chromogenic substrates (Chromozym Thrombin® from Boehringer Mannheim, Chromozym Trypsin® from Boehringer Mannheim, Chromozym Plasmin® from Boehringer Mannheim), and the extinction was determined at 405 nm after 20 minutes. All determinations were carried out at 37° C. The extinctions of the test mixtures with test substance were compared with the control samples without test substance, and the IC₅₀ values were calculated therefrom.

[0255] a.3) Determination of the Anticoagulant Effect

[0256] The anticoagulant effect of the test substances was determined in vitro in human plasma. For this purpose, human blood was collected in a 0.11 molar sodium citrate solution in the sodium citrate/blood mixing ratio of 1/9. The blood was thoroughly mixed after collection and centrifuged at about 2000 g for 10 minutes. The supernatant was removed by pipette. The prothrombin time (PT, synonym: Quick's test) was determined in the presence of varying concentrations of test substance or the appropriate solvent using a commercially available test kit (Neoplastin® from Boehringer Mannheim). The test compounds were incubated with the plasma at 37° C. for 10 minutes. Coagulation was then induced by adding thromboplastin, and the time of onset of coagulation was determined. The concentration of test substance which brings about a doubling of the prothrombin time was found.

[0257] b) Determination of the Antithrombotic Effect (in vivo)

[0258] b.1) Arteriovenous Shunt Model (Rat)

[0259] Fasting male rats (strain: HSD CPB:WU) weighing 200-250 g were anesthetized with a Rompun/Ketavet solution (12 mg/kg/50 mg/kg). Thrombus formation was induced in an arteriovenous shunt by a method based on that described by Christopher N. Berry et al., Br. J. Pharmacol. (1994), 113, 1209-1214. For this purpose, the left jugular vein and the right carotid artery were exposed. An extracorporeal shunt was formed between the two vessels using a 10 cm-long polyethylene tube (PE 60). This polyethylene tube was secured in the middle by tying in a further 3 cm-long polyethylene tube (PE 160) which contained a roughened nylon thread forming a loop to produce a thrombogenic surface. The extracorporeal circulation was maintained for 15 minutes. The shunt was then removed and the nylon thread with the thrombus was immediately weighed. The blank weight of the nylon thread had been found before the start of the experiment. The test substances were administered either intravenously through the tail vein or orally by gavage to conscious animals before setting up the extracorporeal circulation. The results are shown in Table 1: TABLE 1 Antithrombotic effect in the arteriovenous shunt model (rat) after oral or intravenous administration ED₅₀ ED₅₀ [mg/ Example [mg/kg] p.o. kg] i.v. 1 10 17 6 44 3 95 3 114 3 115 3 123 3 162 3

[0260] b.2) Arterial Thrombosis Model (Rat)

[0261] Fasting male rats (strain: HSD CPB: WU) were anesthetized as described above. The rats had an average weight of about 200 g. The left carotid artery was exposed (about 2 cm). Formation of an arterial thrombus was induced by mechanical injury to the vessel by a method based on that described by K. Meng et al., Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's Arch. Pharmacol. (1977), 301, 115-119. For this purpose, the exposed carotid artery was clamped off from the blood flow, cooled to −12° C. in a metal channel for 2 minutes and, to standardize the thrombus size, simultaneously compressed with a weight of 200 g. The blood flow was then additionally reduced by a clip placed around the carotid artery distal from the injured section of vessel. The proximal clamp was removed, and the wound was closed and reopened after 4 hours in order to remove the injured section of vessel. The section of vessel was opened longitudinally and the thrombus was removed from the injured section of vessel. The wet weight of the thrombi was measured immediately. The test substances were administered either intravenously via the tail vein or orally by gavage to conscious animals at the start of the experiment.

[0262] b.3) Venous Thrombosis Model (Rat)

[0263] Fasting male rats (strain: HSD CPB: WU) were anesthetized as described above. The rats had an average weight of about 200 g. The left jugular vein was exposed (about 2 cm). Formation of a venous thrombus was induced by mechanical injury to the vessel by a method based on that described by K. Meng et al., Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's Arch. Pharmacol. (1977), 301, 115-119. For this purpose, the exposed jugular vein was clamped off from the blood flow, cooled to −12° C. in a metal channel for 2 minutes and, to standardize the thrombus size, simultaneously compressed with a weight of 200 g. The blood flow was reopened and the wound was closed. After 4 hours, the wound was reopened in order to remove the thrombi from the injured sections of vessels. The wet weight of the thrombi was measured immediately. The test substances were administered either intravenously via the tail vein or orally by gavage to conscious animals at the start of the experiment.

[0265] a) In vivo Investigations in a Rat Thrombosis Model

[0266] The carotid artery of rats (HSD CPB:WU, Harlan Winkelmann) was exposed under anesthesia. A piece of filter paper impregnated with an aqueous 10% strength FeCl₃ solution (dissolved in 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid) was cautiously pushed underneath the exposed vessel in accordance with the method described by Kurz et al. (Rat Model of Arterial Thrombosis Induced by Ferric Chloride, Thrombosis Research 60, 269-280, 1990). After 3 minutes, the piece of filter paper was removed. The carotid artery was removed after 15 minutes, and the thrombus was detached and immediately weighed. The animals (10 rats per group) had been pretreated with 1 mg/kg of each of the individual active ingredients (oxazolidinone of the formula (I) and combination active ingredient) or with the combination of 1 mg/kg oxazolidinone of the formula (I) and 1 mg/kg combination active ingredient. The animals in the control group had been treated with the corresponding solvent. The statistical significance was calculated using Student's t-test. Values with p<0.05 are regarded as a statistically significant effect (Medical Statistics, M J Campbell, D. Machin, Second Edition, John Wiley & Sons). The results are shown in Table 2: TABLE 2 Synergistic antithrombotic effect of the combination of an oxazolidinone of the formula (I) with a platelet aggregation inhibitor Reduction in thrombus weight after oral treatment with Compound Combination of the of compound of Example Example 44 Clopidogrel 44 [1 mg/kg] with [1 mg/kg] [1 mg/kg] clopidogrel [1 mg/kg] 22% 28% 39% no effect (p > 0.05) no effect (p > 0.05) effect (p < 0.05)

[0267] As shown in Table 2, a synergistic effect is achieved with the combination of an oxazolidinone of the formula (I) such as the compound of Example 44 with a platelet aggregation inhibitor such as clopidogrel, i.e. the two components mutually enhance their effect. In single dosage, both compounds were inactive at the dose investigated. Combination of the two compounds by contrast led to a significant reduction in the thrombus weight. Combination of oxazolidinones of the formula (I) with a platelet aggregation-inhibiting substance is therefore able to improve antithrombotic therapy considerably.

B Preparation Examples

[0268] Starting Compounds

[0269] The preparation of 3-morpholinone is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,349,045.

[0270] The preparation of N-(2,3-epoxypropyl)phthalimide is described in J.-W. Chern et al. Tetrahedron Lett. 1998,39,8483.

[0271] The substituted anilines can be obtained by reacting, for example, 4-fluoronitrobenzene, 2,4-difluoronitrobenzene or 4-chloronitrobenzene with the appropriate amines or amides in the presence of a base. This can also take place with use of Pd catalysts such as Pd(OAc)₂/DPPF/NaOt-Bu (Tetrahedron Lett. 1999,40,2035) or copper (Renger, Synthesis 1985,856; Aebischer et al., Heterocycles 1998,48,2225). Haloaromatic compounds without a nitro group can initially be converted into the corresponding amides in exactly the same way in order to be subsequently nitrated in position 4 (U.S. Pat. No. 3,279,880).

[0272] I. 4-(4-Morpholin-3-onyl)nitrobenzene

[0273] 2 mol (202 g) of morpholin-3-one (E. Pfeil, U. Harder, Angew. Chem. 79, 1967, 188) are dissolved in 2 l of N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP). 88 g (2.2 mol) of sodium hydride (60% in paraffin) are then added in portions over a period of 2 h. After hydrogen evolution ceases, 282 g (2 mol) of 4-fluoronitrobenzene are added dropwise while cooling at room temperature over the course of 1 h, and the reaction mixture is then stirred overnight. Subsequently, 1.7 l of the liquid volume are distilled out at 12 mbar and 76° C., the residue is poured into 2 l of water, and this mixture is extracted twice with 1 l of ethyl acetate each time. The combined organic phases are washed with water and then dried over sodium sulfate, and the solvent is distilled off in vacuo. Purification takes place by chromatography on silica gel with hexane/ethyl acetate (1:1) and subsequent crystallization from ethyl acetate. The product is obtained as 78 g of a colorless to brownish solid in 17.6% of theory.

After filtration of the catalyst, the solvent is distilled out in vacuo and the product is purified by crystallization from ethyl acetate. The product is obtained as 20 g of a colorless to blueish solid in 37.6% of theory.

[0284] Purification can also take place by chromatography on silica gel with hexane/ethyl acetate.

[0293] General method for preparing 4-substituted anilines by reacting 1-fluoro-4-nitrobenzenes and 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzenes with primary or secondary amines and subsequent reduction

[0294] Equimolar amounts of the fluoronitrobenzene or chloronitrobenzene and of the amine are dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide or acetonitrile (0.1 M to 1 M solution) and stirred at 100° C. overnight. After cooling to RT, the reaction mixture is diluted with ether and washed with water. The organic phase is dried over MgSO₄, filtered and concentrated. If a precipitate is obtained in the reaction mixture, it is filtered off and washed with ether or acetonitrile. If product is also to be found in the mother liquor, this is worked up with ether and water as described. The crude products can be purified by chromatography on silica gel (dichloromethane/cyclohexane and dichloromethane/ethanol mixtures).

[0295] For the subsequent reduction, the nitro compound is dissolved in methanol, ethanol or ethanol/dichloromethane mixtures (0.01 M to 0.5 M solution), mixed with palladium on carbon (10%) and stirred under hydrogen of atmospheric pressure overnight. This is followed by filtration and concentration. The crude product can be purified by chromatography on silica gel (dichloromethane/ethanol mixtures) or preparative reversed phase HPLC (acetonitrile/water mixtures).

[0296] Alternatively, iron powder can also be used as reducing agent. For this purpose, the nitro compound is dissolved in acetic acid (0.1 M to 0.5 M solution) and, at 90° C., six equivalents of iron powder and water (0.3 to 0.5 times the volume of acetic acid) are added in portions over the course of 10-15 min. After a further 30 min at 90° C., the mixture is filtered and the filtrate is concentrated. The residue is worked up by extraction with ethyl acetate and 2N sodium hydroxide solution. The organic phase is dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The crude product can be purified by chromatography on silica gel (dichloromethane/ethanol mixtures) or preparative reversed phase HPLC (acetonitrile/water mixtures).

Chem.; 596; 1955; 209) in analogy to the known synthesis scheme (see S. J. Brickner et al., J. Med. Chem. 1996, 39, 673) after reaction with benzyloxycarbonyl chloride, subsequent reaction with R-glycidyl butyrate, mesylation, reaction with potassium phthalimide, hydrazinolysis in methanol and finally reaction with 5-chlorothiophene-2-carboxylic acid. The 5-chloro-N-({(5S)-2-oxo-3-[4-(2-oxo-1-pyrrolidinyl)phenyl]-1,3-oxazolidin-5-yl}methyl)-2-thiophenecarboxamide obtained in this way has an IC₅₀ of 4 nM (test method for the IC₅₀ according to Example A-1. a.1) “Measurement of factor Xa inhibition” described above).

[0400] M.p.: 229° C.; R_(f)(SiO₂, toluene/ethyl acetate 1:1)=0.05 (precursor:=0.0); MS (ESI): 442.0 (21%, M+Na, Cl pattern), 420.0 (72%, M+H, Cl pattern), 302.3 (12%), 215 (52%), 145 (100%); ¹H-NMR (d₆-DMSO, 300 MHz): 2.05 (m, 2H), 2.45 (m, 2H), 3.6 (t, 2H), 3.77-3.85 (m, 3H), 4.15 (t, 1H), 4.75-4.85 (m, 1H), 7.2 (d, 1H), 7.5 (d, 2H), 7.65 (d, 2H), 7.69 (d, 1H), 8.96 (t, 1H).

[0401] The individual stages in the synthesis of Example 17 described above, with the respective precursors, are as follows:

[0402] 4.27 g (25.03 mmol) of benzyl chloroformate are slowly added to 4 g (22.7 mmol) of 1-(4-aminophenyl)pyrrolidin-2-one and 3.6 ml (28.4 mmol) of N,N-dimethylaniline in 107 ml of tetrahydrofuran at −20° C. The mixture is stirred at −20° C. for 30 minutes and then allowed to reach room temperature. 0.5 l of ethyl acetate is added, and the organic phase is washed with 0.5 l of saturated NaCl solution. The removed organic phase is dried with MgSO₄, and the solvent is evaporated in vacuo. The residue is triturated with diethyl ether and filtered off with suction. 5.2 g (73.8% of theory) of benzyl 4-(2-oxo-1-pyrrolidinyl)phenylcarbamate are obtained as pale beige crystals with a melting point of 174° C.

[0403] 7.27 ml of a 2.5 M solution of n-butyllithium (BuLi) in hexane are added dropwise to 1.47 g (16.66 mmol) of isoamyl alcohol in 200 ml of tetrahydrofuran under argon at −10° C., a further 8 ml of the BuLi solution being necessary until the color of the added N-benzylidenebenzylamine indicator changed. The mixture is stirred at −10° C. for 10 minutes and cooled to −78° C., and a solution of 4.7 g (15.14 mmol) of benzyl 4-(2-oxo-1-pyrrolidinyl)phenylcarbamate is slowly added. Then a further 4 ml of n-BuLi solution are added until the color of the indicator changes, to pink. The mixture is stirred at −78° C. for 10 minutes and 2.62 g (18.17 mmol) of R-glycidyl butyrate are added, and the mixture is stirred at −78° C. for 30 minutes.

[0404] The mixture is allowed to reach room temperature overnight, 200 ml of water are added to the mixture, and the THF content is evaporated in vacuo. The aqueous residue is extracted with ethyl acetate, and the organic phase is dried with MgSO₄ and concentrated in vacuo. The residue is triturated with 500 ml of diethyl ether, and the crystals which have separated out are filtered off with suction in vacuo.

[0405] 3.76 g (90% of theory) of (5R)-5-(hydroxymethyl)-3-[4-(2-oxo-1-pyrrolidinyl)phenyl]-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one are obtained with a melting point of 148° C. and an R_(f)(SiO₂, toluene/ethyl acetate 1:1)=0.04 (precursor=0.3).

[0406] 3.6 g (13.03 mmol) of (5R)-5-(hydroxymethyl)-3-[4-(2-oxo-1-pyrrolidinyl)phenyl]-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one and 2.9 g (28.67 mmol) of triethylamine are introduced into 160 ml of dichloromethane at 0° C. with stirring. 1.79 g (15.64 mmol) of methanesulfonyl chloride are added with stirring, and the mixture is stirred at 0° C. for 1.5 hours and at room temperature for 3 h.

[0407] The reaction mixture is washed with water and the aqueous phase is extracted once more with methylene chloride. The combined organic extracts are dried with MgSO₄ and evaporated. The residue (1.67 g) is then dissolved in 70 ml of acetonitrile, 2.62 g (14.16 mmol) of potassium phthalimide are added, and the mixture is stirred in a closed vessel at 180° C. in a microwave oven for 45 minutes.

[0408] The mixture is filtered off from the insoluble residue, the filtrate is concentrated in vacuo, the residue (1.9 g) is dissolved in methanol, and 0.47 g (9.37 mmol) of hydrazine hydrate is added. The mixture is boiled for 2 hours and cooled, saturated sodium bicarbonate solution is added, and the mixture is extracted six times with a total of 2 l of methylene chloride. The combined organic extracts of the crude (5S)-5-(aminomethyl)-3-[4-(2-oxo-1-pyrrolidinyl)phenyl]-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one are dried with MgSO₄ and concentrated in vacuo.

[0409] The final stage, 5-chloro-N-({(5S)-2-oxo-3-[4-(2-oxo-1-pyrrolidinyl)phenyl]-1,3oxazolidin-5-yl}methyl)-2-thiophenecarboxamide, is prepared by dissolving 0.32 g (1.16 mmol) of the (5S)-5-(aminomethyl)-3-[4-(2-oxo-1-pyrrolidinyl)phenyl]-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one prepared above, 5-chlorothiophene-2-carboxylic acid (0.19 g; 1.16 mmol) and 1-hydroxy-1H-benzotriazole hydrate (HOBT) (0.23 g, 1.51 mmol) in 7.6 ml of DMF. 0.29 g (1.51 mmol) of N′-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N-ethylcarbodiimide (EDCI) is added and, at room temperature, 0.3 g (0.4 ml; 2.32 mmol, 2 equivalents) of diisopropylethylamine (DIEA) is added dropwise. The mixture is stirred at room temperature overnight.

[0410] The mixture is evaporated to dryness in vacuo, and the residue is dissolved in 3 ml of DMSO and chromatographed on an RP-MPLC with acetonitrile/water/0.5% TFA gradients. The acetonitrile content is evaporated off from the appropriate fractions, and the precipitated compound is filtered off with suction. 0.19 g (39% of theory) of the target compound is obtained.

The reaction mixture is diluted with ethyl acetate (EtOAc) and washed with 2 N hydrochloric acid. The organic phase is dried with MgSO₄, filtered and evaporated in vacuo.

[0576] The crude product is dissolved in acetone (0.01-0.1 mol/l), and methyl iodide (40 eq.) is added. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature (RT) for 2 to 5 h and then concentrated in vacuo.

[0676] General Method for Preparing Oxazolidinones of the General Formula B by Solid Phase-Assisted Synthesis

[0677] Reactions with various resin-bound products took place in a set of separate reaction vessels.

[0678] 5-(Bromomethyl)-3-(4-fluoro-3-nitrophenyl)-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one A (prepared from epibromohydrin and 4-fluoro-3-nitrophenyl isocyanate with LiBr/Bu₃PO in xylene in analogy to U.S. Pat. No. 4,128,654, Ex.2) (1.20 g, 3.75 mmol) and ethyldiisoproylamine (DIEA, 1.91 ml, 4.13 mmol) were dissolved in DMSO (70 ml), mixed with a secondary amine (1.1 eq, amine component 1) and reacted at 55° C. for 5 h. TentaGel SAM resin (5.00 g, 0.25 mmol/g) was added to this solution and reacted at 75° C. for 48 h. The resin was filtered and repeatedly washed with methanol (MeOH), dimethylformamide (DMF), MeOH, dichloromethane (DCM) and diethyl ether and dried. The resin (5.00 g) was suspended in dichloromethane (80 ml), mixed with DIEA (10 eq) and 5-chlorothiophene-2-carbonyl chloride [prepared by reacting 5-chlorothiophene-2-carboxylic acid (5 eq) and 1-chloro-1-dimethylamino-2-methylpropene (5 eq) in DCM (20 ml) at room temperature for 15 minutes] and reacted at room temperature for 5 h. The resulting resin was filtered and washed repeatedly with MeOH, DCM and diethyl ether and dried. The resin was then suspended in DMF/water (v/v 9:2, 80 ml), mixed with SnCl₂*2H₂O (5 eq) and reacted at room temperature for 18 h. The resin was again washed repeatedly with MeOH, DMF, water, MeOH, DCM and diethyl ether and dried. This resin was suspended in DCM, mixed with DEA (10 eq) and, at 0° C., with an acid chloride (5 eq of acid derivative 1) and reacted at room temperature overnight. Before the reaction, carboxylic acids were converted into the corresponding acid chlorides by reacting with 1-dimethylamino-1-chloro-2-methylpropene (1 eq, based on the carboxylic acid) in DCM at room temperature for 15 min. The resin was washed repeatedly with DMF, water, DMF, MeOH, DCM and diethyl ether and dried. Where Fmoc-protected amino acids were used as acid derivative 1, the Fmoc-protective group was eliminated in the last reaction step by reacting with piperidine/DMF (v/v, 1/4) at room temperature for 15 minutes, and the resin was washed with DMF, MeOH, DCM and diethyl ether and dried. The products were then cleaved off the solid phase with trifluoroacetic acid (TFA)/DCM (v/v, 1/1), the resin was filtered off, and the reaction solutions were evaporated. The crude products were filtered through silica gel (DCM/MeOH, 9:1) and evaporated in order to obtain a set of products B.
